John,

I’m writing to say thank you to everyone who supported the Texas Democratic lawmakers by donating to the fund we set up for them at Powered by People.

More than 18,000 people donated a total of $733,612 to help them stay the course. 100% of the funds raised have been wired to them.

By breaking quorum and taking this fight to the one place it can be won — our nation’s capitol — these courageous legislators serve as the inspiration and moral leverage to advance national voting rights legislation. The progress we’ve seen in the last few weeks has a lot to do with their courage and sacrifice.

I want to make sure you know that they appreciate your help. They’ve told me that these donations not only ensured that they had the resources to go the distance, but gave them the confidence that the people of Texas (and beyond!) have their backs.

There’s still a lot of work to do to make sure that we save this democracy and guarantee the right to vote for every eligible voter in this country, but thanks to these Texas Democrats we’ve got hope and an example of what it will take to get it done.

Thank you for supporting them.

Beto
